It states: “It shall be the duty of a man or woman to maintain any child, notwithstanding his age, who by reason of physical or mental disability is unable to maintain himself, but if at any time the disability ceases there shall therefore be no duty to provide such maintenance.” An application for the maintenance of a child may be made by a social welfare officer on behalf of a woman who is by reason of mental or physical disability unable to make the application.
En ella se dispone lo siguiente: "El hombre o la mujer deberán velar por el mantenimiento de un hijo, independientemente de su edad, que por motivo de discapacidad física o mental no pueda mantenerse a sí mismo, pero la obligación desaparece en el momento en que cesa la discapacidad".
